    Good that has been sitting out and cold
    Laura V.

    To the Owner of the Smashburger - Carson Location, I'm writing to share my experience visiting your store today, and I hope this message reaches you directly, as my concerns are about the management and staffing of this location--not the two employees who were doing everything they could. I originally placed an Uber Eats order, which was suddenly canceled. I called the store, and the employee informed me that the system was down and that Uber Eats orders were not being processed. I asked if I could place an order over the phone instead, and he said yes, but payment would have to be in cash due to the system issues. I told him I would call back shortly, but when I called again--multiple times--no one answered. Because of that, I decided to drive to the location. When I arrived, the store was completely overwhelmed. There was only one person at the register and one cook in the back, even though it was a busy Sunday. There was a long line of customers waiting to order, a group waiting for food that had been sitting out and getting cold, and pickup orders that hadn't been handed out. It was clear the two employees were severely understaffed and doing everything they possibly could. I placed my order and returned after 15 minutes. While my food was ready, both of my shakes were missing. I then had to wait another 15 minutes for those to be made. The crowd continued to grow, and customers were getting frustrated because no one was being helped promptly. Even the cook had to come out to hand out orders. This was my first time visiting this location, and I came because of the great reviews online. Unfortunately, my actual experience was the complete opposite--not because of the employees, but because of the lack of staffing, support, and management. My question is: Where is the owner or manager? How is it acceptable to have only two employees running an entire restaurant on a busy Sunday? These workers should not be left alone to carry the full weight of the store with no support. I truly hope you take this feedback seriously. With proper staffing and management, this location could be great--but the conditions today were unfair to both employees and customers.

    I was worried that I wouldn't have any non-meat options but they had bomb fried shrimp po boys! Deeeelicious and did not disappoint. The service was quick and the reataurant and restrooms were clean!

    DOUBLE COLORADO SMASH with SMASH TOTS
    Azeb H.

    This is my first time at Smashburger. I needed a bite to eat after work. I went inside around 4pm which wasn't busy and the customer service was decent. The burger was cooked well and the Tots were hot & crispy. My day ended on a high note at Smashburger. Also the Honey Mustard sauce on the side was excellent with the burger

    The awesome mac and cheese double burger that I love!
    Joanna B.

    The Mac and cheese double burger is back! It is delicious, it is also my favorite burger from Smash I'm so excited about this.

    I ordered online potato tots and brussel sprouts. When I got out the car with them the bag is soaked at the bottom with olive oil seeping through it. When I pulled the tots out of the bag and box it's dripping olive oil. Come on they didn't drain it as well as had to use that much oil. Smh horrible. I won't go back there.

    Wanted a Smash Burger, my sister suggested I go to the originals to get one. Felt like I was going into a Wendy's, didn't give me like authentic burger joint vibes. BUT it was a pretty good burger. Got the Bacon Smash Double Patty & Tots; definitely recommend. I asked for no mayo and added mustard. Order took a while to make, and they weren't busy. Every clean establishment. Young man @ the front was nice. Would definitely go back.

    Always love smashburgers! I ordered in house and got the All-American Cheeseburger and made it a triple. Tasted fresh and great, not dry at all and juicy! The staff is friendly and welcoming! The restaurant is clean and has lots of spacing for people who dine in.

    Cold stale and half empty fries I received.
    Aira A.

    Honestly, this place has a lot of potential. The staff seemed unenthusiastic and resulting from the food to the cleanliness of the restaurant. When I received my food it was cold, and so did the fries it came with. Not to mention I saw the girl that was handling packaging the food was wasting food. I saw she grabbed fries and dropped them on the counter, put what was left in the bag. Half went into the trash. When I saw that I was hoping that wasn't mine and unfortunately it was. When I was waiting for my food the table and seat was messy and sticky. The food was okay, because quality wise it could be so much better, and the lack of service it shows through the love and care in a workplace. I really hope this reaches out to the higher ups cause honestly this place can be something so amazing!

    BACON SMASH BURGER
    Paul C.

    Exec summary: Novel burger cooking method Food: If you like Maillard process flavors this place is for you. I'm more acclimated to the in n out, fatburger , habit style of burger. This was a nice change, but not probably something I'd redo given it's not close to me Service was fine - it's fast food , so it is what it is, The place is clean , the bathrooms are clean. It's fine Overall, it's a nice variant from the usual fast food burgers

    Mac and cheese double  burger
    Tito U.

    I have been a customer of this burger spot for some years now living nearby. It has recently now gained even more competition with an in&out opening up. Despite the competition SmashBurger is still the best in my opinion, it has a unique taste & savor compared to the rest. Newly once again back on the menu has been an exciting return for me to see. The amazing and uniquely delicious mac n cheese burger!!! Now to be honest I had this burger long before and when it went off the menu I felt the loss heavily. I then gave in and adapted and even somewhat dwindled away from smash a bit. But now seeing this burger gem back has made me return with a cheesy passion of loyalty. The mac is so bomb it makes me think they have a handed down secret grandma recipe for it. Its that dang amazing on those angus beef paddies. Even the mac splattered on the wrappers don't escape me! And don't let me begin on the brownish toasted mac bits oh my goodness, I'm down for that brown best believe me! If your reading this review trust me you will not be dissatisfied, disappointed, or upset at the price or wait for this work of real american love in a bun. Try to limit thyself if your on a body figure trip maybe a once a month indulgence, but do not pass up the double mac n cheese smash burger. Because once its off the menu you will be kicking yourself on not having that experience! I hope and pray to JESUS above this burger stays permanently on menu and all other restaurants around become tumble weed in competition, yes it is that good...now excuse me while I finish this review and get my munch on! Ambience was busy btw but thats good it means business is booming and we want that! Keep it up Smashburger! Thank you all behind the counter you make the place happening.

    I'm back to give it another try. What I can say about Smash Burger is that these burgers do not exist anywhere else. That said, I ordered the Spicy Jalapeño Smash, the Barbeque Bacon Smash and Scorchin' Hot Fries to go. I expect to be as pleased as I was the previous time I was here. I give 5 stars because they deserve it. You might as well let Smash smash up your taste buds with fantastic food. And yes, I left a tip because the service was great.

The cost of the item did not really stand up to the quality paying five bucks for a thing of fries is crazy work, especially for a small batch of fries.

My last two visits I was craving fried chicken so I got actual chicken pieces--dark meat one trip and white meat this last trip. Both times the chicken has been flavorful and juicy, well cooked and crunchy. And the breast was huge (which made me so happy.) The chicken had just the right amount of salt. Their mashed potatoes have been consistent in taste, and I really like their gravy. The coleslaw is sweeter than most places, but I like it also. The coleslaw is a little too juicy, but once I pour off the juice, it's great to eat because the cabbage is chopped, finely. I will admit, that KFC is not homemade quality food but for fast food and the price, I have been enjoying my meals. This KFC has been doing a good job and I encourage them to continue. Thanks.

I still had leftovers after the game so I'm glad I didn't go with the larger order. Calling the order in is definitely the way to go.
